While Democratic candidate Kamala Harris interrupted the run for 4 days to prepare for the large presidential debate, Donald Trump ostentatiously, despite the insistence of his staff, did not prepare at all.
The debate – possibly the only 1 between these 2 – took place in Philadelphia, the largest city of the state crucial for both candidates, whose voters can decide on the result of the November elections. Pennsylvania has both a black population in cities and a white working class in mountain and agricultural areas – neither democratic nor Republican voters are missing there.
The debate – held without an audience at the National Constitution Center – had a completely different dynamic than previous – between Trump and Joe Biden. First of all, she was much more lively, and second of all, in this configuration, Trump was an old man who had problems finishing sentences. Super serious, Trump clearly tried not to annoy American women, insulting Kamala Harris. Rather, he treated her as a frivolous, random puppet from the Biden administration, who should not be on this phase at all. Harris, on the another hand, played the function of a patient lawyer and at times a broken aunt who taught Trump how the U.S. leader should behave. In time, however, she began to hit him more and more.
"She has no plan," Trump said, telling the Americans that if the Democrats win, the next 4 years will look precisely like the last 4 years, and America will fall downwards – economically and in the eyes of the world. "People don't have money for breakfast cereal and bacon. specified things have never been seen in this country” – Trump, as usual, frequently resorted to his favourite phrase.
In addition to the economy, the most crucial subject for Trump was immigration – “million criminals” from around the world, which, in his opinion, cross the confederate border. According to the erstwhile president, the crime rate in the planet is dropping due to the fact that all countries send the most dangerous types to the United States. The immigrants have overrun Chicago and another cities of America, stated Trump, and not only execution people, but even eat dogs and cats of American citizens. Democrats let them in to vote for their party.
"If they wanted to, they could close the border tonight," Trump shouted. "She could go, wake Biden, and they could do it right away."
"You hear quite a few lies today," Harris predicted, shaking her head and turning to the audience. “You will hear in item present dangerous plan called task 2025, which the erstwhile president intends to implement in case of a win". (Trump denies having anything to do with this project, created by the extremist right).
Although Biden's administration failed at all on the border, de facto continuing Trump's policy recently, Trump could not effectively usage this against the vice president.
The candidates besides clashed powerfully about energy. Although Harris promised not to block the fracking, crucial to the Pennsylvania economy, Trump did not find it impossible to argue the opposite. "They block energy production," he said. “She will never let Pennsylvania to make a fracking and we will only have windmills. She's a Marxist.. Her father was a Marxist and taught her well. Meanwhile, America is turning into the 3rd planet and will shortly look like Venezuela."
Trump besides said that if Harris wins, there will be a ban on weapons in America, to which Harris replied with a grin that both she and her Her future, perhaps, vice president They're weapon owners. Trump besides announced that Harris would disband the police, for which she – the prosecutor – smiled with pity.
Another large subject was abortion. Here Harris managed to make compelling images of women who must carry the kid of their rapist, and working mothers who cannot afford the 5th child. Trump stressed that the only thing he did was give the right to decide on abortion to individual states alternatively than settle the issue at national level.
“I promise you, if legislature prepares the bill to bring back Roe vs. Wade“I will be arrogant to sign this bill,” Harris said.
Harris clearly emphasized her humble background and argued that unlike Trump, she worked her full life for American citizens: “I am not Joe Biden. I represent a fresh generation and optimism. I have a plan for the mediate class.”
There was much talk of abroad policy and blaming who was liable for the war in Ukraine, the situation in Gaza and withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan.
“None of these things would have happened if I were the president,” Trump said. “Because everyone was afraid of me. Orbán of Hungary said that no of these conflicts would have happened for Trump."
"Trump is not only weak but is always incorrect about national defence and abroad policy," Harris said. “He will let Putin do what he wants due to the fact that he wants to be a dictator himself. And dictators in the planet can manipulate flattery. You are embarrassing us," she turned to Trump.
"This Biden is weak," Donald opposed. "We close the pipelines and let Putin to open Nord Stream 2. The president is simply a weak, pathetic man. And I have news for you, Biden hates you. You are here accidentally, no 1 has always voted for you.”
The erstwhile president besides accused Vice president Harris of hating Israel. He said that if Harris won, Israel would shortly cease to exist; eventually, erstwhile Benjamin Netanyahu had late arrived in the United States, she decided not to meet him. Harris, on the another hand, stressed that, like the current administration, she full supports Israel's right to self-defense.
"This war must end immediately," she said. "We work and work night and day to bring about ceasefire".
Both candidates warned against Iran, with Trump announcing that Iran flourished and yet had money after Biden's administration abolished sanctions This country.
Kamala Harris stressed that Trump had no respect for either the American Army or the American Constitution. She reminded the prosecutors of the allegations he had been made in fresh years, as well as that He was convicted as a criminal.. She besides reminded Americans of the anti-Semitic march in Charlottesville in 2017 and of the fact that no 1 who always worked with Trump has anything good to say about him. And that everyone in the planet is mocking the president who He couldn't accept losing. in erstwhile elections.
“Trump can’t tell the fact from the fact,” Harris said. "Former president inactive cannot accept that in 2021 millions of Americans expelled him from the office of President. We can't have a leader like that. Let us choose the future and put it forward.”
When asked about the right-wing attack on Capitol of January 6, 2021, Trump said that he had done nothing and that he had asked everyone to march in a spirit of “peaceful and patriotic”. wellness protection (Trump inactive has no plan for an alternate to Obamacare) and climate change, which Trump does not take seriously.
In conclusion, while Harris was calling for national reconciliation and a step towards the future, Trump asked – rather sensiblely – why, if she had specified a good plan, no of this has been implemented in the last 4 years as vice president. And why Biden's administration continues so many Trump decisions, e.g. not abolishing tariffs imposed on China.
Out of charming flavors: at any point Trump said to Harris trying to interrupt him "Wait, now I'm talking"—referring to her strong minute erstwhile she utilized this phrase, applying for the nomination of her organization in 2016, as well as a fewer weeks ago erstwhile she spoke to the propalestic demonstrators in Detrit. “Do I sound familiar?” Trump added insolently. However, this was the only show of his "blowness."
It was fun; it was tragic. Harris won.
